Special Delivery. Top Story - February 2024.
The heat register hums its sleepy tune as I stare listlessly at the snowy yard. The peace of the scene is interrupted by the crunch-crunch-crunch of the ill-prepared neighbors as they trudge arduously to their front door, arms full of supplies and children.

Frasier
What do you get when you send an intelligent but egoistic man to live with his blue-collar, curmudgeon father and eccentric live-in physical therapist? Throw in an equally neurotic and clinically competitive brother, and you get a superb exemplification of the phrase "Do as I say, not as I do."

Seinfeld
A goofy, observational show that breaks down the mundane minutiae of 90's life in New York City. The characters are relatable yet inscrutable caricatures of real people. We all know a Jerry, an Elaine, someone who bafflingly floats by like Kramer, and we're all a little George--aggrieved, petty, and misanthropic.

The Great Gatsby
A timeless, heartbreaking tale spotlighting the fragile human spirit's quest for love and self acceptance among a tangled web of wealth and status. The allure to join the proverbial "party" proves so powerful that morals, integrity and hope for an honest (or satisfying) existence are not only unattainable, but undesirable.
